Suing Over a Wrongful Accusation

Hello, I recently received a letter in the mail from a lawyer (in a different province) that I was being sued by a company for 2000$+ that I owed on some sort of Home Hardware card. The problem is, my wife and I are both sure that we have never had this so called card and have no clue why they think it was us. The card was in use '95 to '00, and since then I have switched homes, which also brings up the question of how they got my new house address to send me the letter.

Now where I live, which is a small city, there are 4 different people with the same name as mine.

The question I want to ask is, is it possible for me to sue the collection agency, the lawyer, or home hardware for some sort of "wrongful accusation"?

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, so thank you for the help.
